Gidday, I'm new and from Australia. I have a 1989 K75S, so you should treat me as you would your little brother.

Never had a little brother, so I don't know whether I'd have helped him out or beaten him up. lol!

Bill, I know you won't beat me up. We guard the Victorian border very carefully and you would need your passport with a Victorian visa in it.

See This post (posts 105 and 112) re border guarding. Razz

If we have another gathering around the snowy area next year, it'd be great to see you there if the border guards let you through.
We might even sneak across the border if the invisibility cloak works.

Apart from that, I'm too nice a guy to beat you up, and you might be bigger than me. Very Happy

In my case Ned and his lot are far far away as I'm in Greta NSW in the Hunter Valley north west of Newcastle. You should come up sometime as we're a social bunch and you are bound to see some of those trees and bush on the way.

I used to live in the Latrobe Valley and work in Bass Strait, I got sick of freezing to death in winter. I can now ride all year round by just putting the liner in my summer jacket and wearing a light Aldi motorcycle jumper.

Hey Damage, ya can always go for a ride up the mud highway, I mean the Yarra River (it's the only river you can walk on).

Since Victoria didn't start as a penal colony, I think you will just need a Ticket of Leave to get across the border. Ride down the Yarra and when you see high pollution on the right, your're looking at the WEST. We are all inbred here, so ask anyone they'll know how to find me.

Welcome along Damage - seems like you have got stuck into some healthy inter-state banter. You've got a great krew on your doorstep and it sounds like you'll fit right in with them.

Cold and rain - are you talking a typical UK summer? Geeze - some of you guys just don't know when you have it good!

Up here in the temperate northern climes, good riding gear is the only answer and there is some great riding and a warm welcome to be had in the UK and Ireland if you ever venture over this way....
